Kylie Jenner gave birth to her first child, a girl, with boyfriend Travis Scott, the reality TV star and Kylie Cosmetics founder announced Sunday.

The baby, whose name has not been revealed, weighed 8 lbs., 9 oz., and was born Thursday. Jenner, 20, kept her pregnancy under wraps, and in a message to fans, she apologized for "keeping you in the dark through all the assumptions." The pregnancy "was one I chose not to do in front of the world," she said. "I knew for myself I needed to prepare for this role of a lifetime in the most positive, stress-free, and healthy way I knew how."
